Amazing talent. Question is how quickly can he start in our complex defense?Kendell Bell was defensive rookie of the year, but he was inside which is less difficult in our scheme.

Lot of preassure on a 1st round LB in Pittsburgh...it's like being a 1st rounf QB anywhere else. plus Jones will live in the shadow of Harrison.We shall see. Wish him luck..the physical tools are there.

3. Jarvis Jones, OLB, Pittsburgh: Jones is the most dynamic pass-rusher in this year's class, a one-man wrecking crew who created fits for opponents while at Georgia. The Steelers have a long history of outstanding rush linebackers, and one of their best ever, James Harrison, was released this offseason. Jones has the most explosive first step in this year's class, and he will play in the same 3-4 system that made him a college star. If neck problems caused by spinal stenosis -- which concerned some teams -- don't hinder him, he should become an immediate standout.

I like the pick. Does he start in his first year in LeBeau's Defense, yeah once Woodley blows a hamstring again because he's 40 pounds overweight... I think the ceiling's high for this kid... What worries me is the Spinal Stenosis diagnosis... I don't like possibility of a medical issue shortening his career.

Someone on this board linked to another website, Steelers Depot or something like that. I saw they had a story on this kid with his highlight clips of fourteen sacks. Well those sacks showed him running straight to the QB after the college offensive tackles did a little dance, never getting their feet set nor setting the body on a proper edge to anticipate the rusher's move (this doesn't happen much in the NFL.) He did not run through contact on many of those highlights and when he did it was because the college level QB held the ball forever. He seems slightly built--no way he is 240. He won't be able to stand up to a full season early in his career. You can bet he will not be playing this year because he needs to physically mature.
